Grundfos CRN 20-2 — material number 99917888 — is a 2-stage Grundfos CRN vertical multistage centrifugal pump with a 5 HP, 3-phase, 208-230/460 V NEMA TEFC motor and a HQQE shaft seal.
This 2-stage configuration produces a moderate 190 ft of head at the BEP (115 GPM, ~82 psi) and is the most common choice for low-rise commercial boosting and short pipe runs where modest pressure is needed.
